Lox, bagel and cream cheese
Lox, bagel and cream cheese
Finland has lox (salmon) (lohi), and Finland has cream cheese (kermajuusto), but why does Finland not have good, boiled bagels?
Boiled bagels are easy to make, and lox, bagel and cream cheese is a very tasty combination, good to eat.
Mazel tov!

Re: Lox, bagel and cream cheese
Simple: for more or less the same reason why "Finland" does not have dry roasted crickets. They're just not a tradition over here. Salmon tastes best, IMO, with rye bread. (Salt-cured raw salmon, that is.)
Re: Lox, bagel and cream cheese
OK, how about rye bagels, bagels made of rye grain?sammy wrote:...Salmon tastes best, IMO, with rye bread. (Salt-cured raw salmon, that is.)
Finnish made rye bagels could be the first rye bagels ever made anywhere in the whole world.
Lox, rye bagel and cream cheese, Mmm!

Could be quite ok, too, but not really the same at all...tuulen wrote:OK, how about rye bagels, bagels made of rye grain?sammy wrote:...Salmon tastes best, IMO, with rye bread. (Salt-cured raw salmon, that is.)

Looks like Arnolds makes also rye bagels: http://www.arnolds.fi/bagelit

I guess you're just looking in the wrong place(s). Stockman certainly has bagels.tuulen wrote:but why does Finland not have good, boiled bagels?

Re: Lox, bagel and cream cheese
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That round thing with a hole at a RIDICULOUS price at Stockmann is NOT a bagel!!!! I have even twice got refunds! Anyone that thinks it is a bagel has NEVER had a real one!I guess you're just looking in the wrong place(s). Stockman certainly has bagels.
Re: Lox, bagel and cream cheese
Rye bagels quite common in US - even at Brueggers if I recall. And pumpernickel VERY common.Finnish made rye bagels could be the first rye bagels ever made anywhere in the whole world.
Re: Lox, bagel and cream cheese
No real American bagels in Helsinki - another reason to complain for you, jtammilehto et al - you should all get together as Bagel Legion and bake your ownjmakinen wrote:OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Lox, bagel and cream cheese
What complaining? This is a forum where we try to find answers, solutions etc. D you really think it isn't possible that someone will finally come up with Eastern European bagels (they are NOT American!!) and we'll all find out? Do you want people to throw money and expectation away on Stockmann's so-called bagels?
If you don't care about it - just don't bother reading!!

You have told us you are a "certified git"
Git: Git is a relatively mild slang term used in British English to denote a silly, incompetent, stupid, annoying, or childish person. It is usually an insult, more severe than '' but less severe than a true obscenity like w4#73r or @r$3gh013.''
I think there are many here in this forum who use it to learn and develop - those are not the aims of gits. I've read a number of your posts and you seem intent on disparaging anyone and everyone that is trying to move forward in any way. Of course, this 'function' has a place on a forum - as a devil's advocate etc. - but thank goodness the world also has more constructive and happier people.
BTW - anyone want to contribute any REAL bagel recipes? Maybe some commercial baker in Finland will get to know about them

Re: Lox, bagel and cream cheese
Hey, no offence J - just remembered that "someone else" had the same bagelmania some time ago. Note ->
The suggestion of why not make your own was a sincere one... if the "genuine ones" are so easy to make, why should you expect to find them in shops in Finland? Stress on the should there. The question the OP posted was, after all, why we do not have (Eastern European) bagels in our culinary tradition, wasn't it.

Re: Lox, bagel and cream cheese
Good god - they are NOT easy to make - look up some bagel recipes and you can see for yourself. It would be great to buy some REAL bagels sometimes instead of going thru that process all the time.The suggestion of why not make your own was a sincere one... if the "genuine ones" are so easy to make, why should you expect to find them in shops in Finland?
Please get out of your supi-suomalainen mode.
I am now a certified passport-holding Finn - when I came to Finland my mother had to send oregano from NY, I had to bring back olive oil from Greece in suitcases - I was thrown out of the license office in Helsinki when I wanted to import Durum Pasta - they said they had all the crappy bread wheat in Pohjanmaa for pasta. Valintatalo staff broke into loud laughter when I asked for mussels. I had to buy fresh champignons in Stockholm. I could go on for a thousand items which you now think even 'Finnish'
Give the rest of the world a break please. (and give Finns a break too - they would almost surely like REAL bagels)
Re: Lox, bagel and cream cheese
does that mean you have come to visit and can't find any? Or is this just idle conversation?tuulen wrote:why does Finland not have good, boiled bagels?
moving is in the bad <-> crazy continuum
Re: Lox, bagel and cream cheese
Fair enough, sorry if my original answer to the "why" question by tuulen was somehow unsatisfactory. As for my multiple indentities joke - mea culpa. Peace.
